Job Description:

We know it’s not business as usual right now, and we’re here to help. Check out our latest COVID resources .

We believe relationships matter. That’s why we’re on a mission to give a voice to every consumer and create better customer experiences for the world’s most popular brands.

These values guide how we treat one another, interact with our customers, and build our product.

Deliver Customer Love We are committed to taking a customer-first approach to our processes and our product. We listen first and embrace the emotional connection of human beings, especially in our customer relationships.

Own Your Results We view ownership of our individual results as a responsibility to the overall team. We do not place blame on others or argue “that’s not my job.”

Be Transparent We are committed to promoting trust and accountability. We share what’s going on and why, so everyone can make the best decisions possible.

Celebrate Change: Fail, Learn, and Improve We celebrate experiments, risk-taking, and adaptability as opportunities to learn. We focus on improvement and execution, rather than valuing status and comfort.

Bring Your Best Self We help each person invest in their professional development and encourage everyone to ask for help when they need it, both personally and professionally.

Take Action We prioritize smart decisions made quickly over perfect decisions made slowly. We understand that while we might not always agree, our ability to disagree and commit effectively is crucial to our success.

Succeed Together We respect and empower one another, invest in strong communication, and collaborate because we are all on the same team. We know people love Apptentive because anyone in the company will help you.

Taking care of our employees’ health, well-being, and their personal and professional development is part of how we grow together.

Why We Do It Apptentive was founded in 2011 with the mission to make it easier for companies to build stronger relationships with their customers.

Inclusive, diverse, and values-driven. That's who we are. We hire people who help us create and support an environment where we all can do and be our best.

What Our People Are Saying Apptentive's product and approach to building it truly embodies our values. We also have an incredible community who is just as passionate about giving their consumers a voice as we are, which is a ton of fun from a marketing perspective. The work is interesting, useful, challenging, and leaves me feeling a sense of accomplishment at the end of every day!"

- Ashley Sefferman, Head of Content

Transparency is definitely a big deal here. I've asked many questions over my first three months to the leadership team about how my quota was set, how pricing decisions are made, and how early product decisions were made. I've not only received thorough answers, I've been asked 'How would YOU make these decisions?’ Being welcomed into strategic decision-making conversations as an entry-level salesperson this way is definitely hard to come by."

- Nick Dudler, Market Development Representative

I love working at Apptentive because everyone is so committed to our customers and their success— we embody customer love! It's not uncommon to loop our CEO or Director of Product onto a call with a customer to let them hear their feedback or help address their pain points. Everyone chips in to give customers a great experience.”

- Veronica Rosenberg, Customer Success Team Lead

It’s really awesome to work for a company that listens to customers and builds tools to listen to customers (especially as someone whose main job is to ultimately listen to customers). I’m building tools I love and want to share with others. ”

- Sina Yeganeh, Director of Product Management

I've never felt more valued as a team member and encouraged to explore ideas that I think could really make an impact."
